Corgi 242
Corgi 242 Ghia-Fiat 'Jolly'. Very near mint/boxed. So scarce. From The Pennsylvanian Collection.
Notes
A delightful item from Corgi finished in deep yellow with a red and silver interior, bright silver chrome, two suitably-attired beach lovers, and the Corgi dog reposing on the back seat!
This model is very close to perfect with a pleasing, all original yellow finish. Nearly always found with rubs on the chrome caused by box contact. This example has one tiny rub only. One of the best we have seen in this respect. Small area of paint ‘crazing’ on the bonnet and a couple of little bumper marks.
Complete picture box has light wear including very light fading on one side.
Issued 1965-66.
